The thing about the discernment process is that life continues. I still try to date people, have friends, socialize go to a full time job and of course, watch Wimbledon on-line. The thing I suck at the most, is relationships. I recently found out that my ex is dating someone new–oh facebook. It was kindContinue reading “Psalm 121”

VOTER ID–It’s about integrity
I actually didn’t care about the Voter Id situation until I saw this video… Just saying.
Thirsting for God?
During my discernment presentation someone asked me, “How do you thirst for God?” I still have no idea how to answer that question. I don’t know if I understand it, but I decided to Google thirst in the bible and here are some versus that came up. Psalm 63: 1 You, God, are my God,Continue reading “Thirsting for God?”
The Dream Act
Ok, can we just take a moment to talk about the dream act. This is a law that was written by both parties in congress before Obama took office. Then when he takes office, all of a sudden republicans are all, “we didn’t sign up for that.” “we’ll give people a path to citizenship ifContinue reading “The Dream Act”
I made a choice
The thing about discernment is that I have to surrender to the will of God and pray that what I am saying and what people are hearing is the same thing. Yesterday I did my presentation for the discernment committee. I didn’t curse the entire time!!! Mission accomplished. I decided to talk about music campContinue reading “I made a choice”

So tomorrow for my discernment presentation, I am going to start by playing “I surrender all.” It is an integralContinue reading “Expectations cause pain”

This Sunday is my turn to do a presentation for the discernment group. It’s a bit emotionally overwhelming to final be at the moment when I tell my story to a bunch of people I don’t really know. I am so happy I didn’t have to go first. But the person that did was aContinue reading “Surrender and brokenness”
The nuns get it right

The church doesn’t always get it right, but listening to God’s call always will. Check out these radical nuns and their fight for economicContinue reading “The nuns get it right”
God, new creation!
I find great comfort in this reflection from 6.17.12. In a time of great reflection and soul searching, I am reminded of how messed up I am. I got a lot of brokenness (now in comparison with a bunch of people, I’m pretty together), but isn’t that awesome–God loves me enough to help me carryContinue reading “God, new creation!”
Wisdom War
I have fallen in love with the book of Ecclesiastes and so we will start there. Here are some highlights from chapter 9:11-18: “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong…mortals are snared at a time of calamity, when it suddenly falls upon them…The quiet words of the wise areContinue reading “Wisdom War”
